AS the highly anticipated Roraima Group of Companies Wedding Expo approaches, the company on Saturday sought to extend the event to the streets of Georgetown by engaging members of the public in prize-winning activities. According to Gerry Gouveia Jr., son of the Managing Director of Roraima Group of Companies, Saturday’s activities were an attempt at making the public aware of what they could expect at the Wedding Expo which is slated for March 27 to 29.

During the course of the day, he said, distributions of four types of raffles were made which allowed persons who collected all four, a chance to win a Honeymoon in Curacao, or local prizes.
Gouveia added that the company also sought to seize the opportunity to market the products which would be available at the expo. These included: shoes, dresses, suits, decorations, bouquets, photographers and food among other things.
The highlight of the day, however, was the traditional tossing of the bouquet, which allowed one member of the public who caught the bouquet to win a free entry into the Expo. This event, Gouveia said, would be repeated throughout the day’s activities at different locations.
Another event which is coupled with the Expo, is the Race to the Altar competition, which allows the winning couple to have their wedding completely sponsored and hosted at the expo. For this event, the suit for the groom will be sponsored by Exclusive Styles while the bride’s dress will be sponsored by Shasha designs.
Wedding Expo 2015 was launched on February 4, at the Roraima Duke Lodge.
